Today is the sixth day of November.

Welcome to the Daily Audio Bible. I am Brian.

And it is wonderful. I'm grateful to be here with you today.

Ah, as we gather again, like we do every day.

And this safe oasis that we call the global campfire, a place that we create together and

for each other every day.

As we continue to journey forward on a, well, on a trip, an adventure of a

lifetime through the entire Bible in a year, very, very grateful to be here today.

As we gather to take the next step forward

on our journeys right now through the book of Ezekiel in the Old Testament and the book of Hebrews in the new.

Today, Ezekiel chapter 14 verse 12 through 16, verse 41.

The Lord spoke to me.

Mortal man, he said.

If a country sins and is unfaithful to me, I will reach out and destroy its supply of food.

I will send a famine and kill people and animals alike. Even if those three men, Noah,

Daniel, and Job, were living there, their goodness would save only their own lives.

The sovereign Lord has spoken.

Or I might send wild animals to kill the people, making the land so dangerous that no one could travel through it.

And even if those three men lived there, as surely as I,

the sovereign Lord, am the living God, they would not be able to save even their own children.

They would save only their own lives and the land would become a wilderness.

Or I might bring war on that country and send destructive weapons to wipe out people and animals alike.
